There was a minor mass extinction toward the end of the Jurassic period (roughly 190-183 million years ago) in which more than 80% of marine bivalve species and many other shallow-water species died out. The cause of this extinction is unknown, but there is some speculation that it was triggered by the release of huge methane deposits from within the Earth (these deposits formed beneath the seabed as surface algae dies and sinks to the sea floor).

How long ago did the Jurassic period end?
The Jurassic period ended 145+/- 4 million years ago. It took place between the Triassic period and the Cretaceous period.
What came after the Jurassic period?
The Jurassic period was followed by the Cretaceous period in the Mesozoic era. The Cretaceous period lasted from around 145 to 66 million years ago and ended with a mass extinction event that led to the disappearance of dinosaurs.
Is there a Mass extinction in the Jurassic period?
There was a minor extinction event at the end of the Jurassic period. It was probably caused by global climate change. Dinosaurs like Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Stegosaurus couldn't adapt to the change in temperature, so they all died out. The Cretaceous period then came after the Jurassic period had ended.
When did the turasic period end?
The Triassic Period ended 201.3 million years ago. It was the period in which the first dinosaurs evolved. The Triassic was followed by the Jurassic period.
What Geological Period preceded the Jurassic Period?
after Jurrasic period it is the Cretaceous period
What period was the middle Jurassic period in?
The Middle Jurassic Epoch (175.6 - 161.2Ma) was in the Jurassic Period (199.6 - 145.5Ma).
How long has it been since the Jurassic period?
The Jurassic period extended from 200 million BCE to 146 million years BCE. It lasted 54 million years.
What time did the Jurassic stop?
The Jurassic period ended approximately 145 million years ago, transitioning into the Cretaceous period. This conclusion is marked by a significant geological event known as the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary. The end of the Jurassic saw major changes in climate and ecosystems, paving the way for the dominance of dinosaurs in the subsequent Cretaceous era.
A timeline of when the dinosaurs where alive?
Dinosaurs have been alive in the Mesozoic Era. The Mesozoic Era consist of three time periods the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. The Triassic is the oldest part of the Mesozoic Era. The Cretaceous is the youngest part of the Mesozoic Era. The Triassic period had started 227 million years ago and ended 22 million years later. When the Triassic period ended the Jurassic period started. The Jurassic period started 205 million years ago and ended 61 million years later. After the Jurassic period came the Cretaceous period. The Cretaceous period started 144 million years ago and ended 79 million years later. The dinosaurs have been alive ever since the beginning of the Triassic period and are still alive today. But the dinosaurs that are alive to this day are the evolve creatures of those in the past.

Which period is older than the Triassic period?
